Dennis Thompson

Known for: Acting

Born: September 6, 1948 in Detroit, Michigan, USA

Dennis Thompson (born September 7, 1948 in Detroit, Michigan, United States) was the drummer with the 1960s/1970s Detroit proto-punk/hard rock group MC5, which had a #82 US single with "Kick Out The Jams" and a #30 US album with the same name. Thompson was given the nickname "Machine Gun" because of his "assault" style of fast, hard-hitting drumming that sonically resembles the sound of a Thompson machine gun (commonly referred to as a "Tommy Gun"). His powerful drumming pre-figured and influenced punk, metal, and hardcore punk drumming styles. After the MC5 broke up, Thompson was a member of the 1975–1976 Los Angeles based super-group The New Order, the 1981 Australia based super-group New Race, The Motor City Bad Boys, and The Secrets. In 2001, he guested for Asmodeus X on the song, The Tiger (St. Thomas Records). Where to watch the TV shows and films of Dennis Thompson free?
